Sure. I'm using a RAP-10 with Win95.

Strange. I have absolutely no problems with those drivers (or even earlier
drivers) playing back MIDI and digital audio with CakeWalk under Win95.

Again. I've used the RAP-10 just fine for game music by choosing the "General
MIDI" option (ie, the RAP-10 is hardware compatible with an MPU-401 in Uart
mode). Of course, most game software does not support using the RAP-10 for
sound effects and voice. It's not SB compatible.

> Anyone have any suggestions?

Email me with a list of what devices you have in your system. (I assume that 
you've ensured that you don't have any IRQ or base address conflicts?). Open
the Control Panel's MultiMedia notebook, flip to the MIDI page, and list all
of the devices you see in the list under "Single Instrument". Also, list the
devices in CakeWalk's device lists.

Click on "Tutorials for MIDI Users", and read the FAQ "MIDI connections and 
computer setup" as that has lots of info on configuring MIDI under Win95. Also,
read "Roland Audio Card FAQ". That has lots of useful info about the RAP-10
